| Though 23 of the new Volkswagen Incident Response units were delivered and put into service before the COVID-19 lockdown, they were not spread evenly around London. Of the main locations used, Eltham got five of the new vans and Morden four, each representing over half of the vans allocated. Turnpike Lane however only got one (9058VW), meaning that the allocation there is still dominated by the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz Sprinters. Seven of the red vans (and the sole white one) were present when Derek visited on 14th July 2020, this view showing a neat line-up of (left to right) 7877M, 7868M, 7865M and 7850M. 7850M and 7877M had been based here for most of their 5-year lives, while 7868M seemed to float around all over the place, perhaps being a 'cover' vehicle. 7865M was a Stratford City resident until replaced by new Crafter vans in February. |
